Some people sometimes shoot in an environment where the light is low and they can't entirely control/add lighting. When doing quick run and gun style shooting in low light/nighttime scenes, you want to shoot with the lowest (cleanest) ISO and still get a decent exposure. Lenses are only so fast. You may have NO or limited control over the lighting. The only thing left is adjusting the ISO. Using a DSLR in dark, uncontrolled, run and gun situations was great because you could quickly adjust the ISO, but only raise it as much as you absolutely had too. And you could do it quickly, shot to shot. Imagine run and gun in live environments, outdoors at night, or in dark clubs etc.

Thanks, Phil. The issue, Shooter, is that you can only load 3 ISO speeds into the 3-way toggle switch. If you need a speed that is not loaded, you have to go into the menu system and load another. This is time consuming. I shoot documentaries. We move quickly. I would like to be able to go to the thumbwheel at the back of the camera, and roll to the ISO I need for the shot at hand.
